Singer Alex Turner referenced the late broadcaster – who passed away at the age of 84 yesterday – while introducing Miles Kane onstage for his customary guest slot during an encore of ‘505’.

The frontman told the crowd:

Jimmy Savile, rest in peace. I don’t know if this was his work, but I think tonight he fixed one more thing for us – put your hands together for Miles Kane

.
Turner then took a swipe at his Last Shadow Puppets cohort’s red jacket by quipping: “Straight from Butlin’s.” New B-side ‘Evil Twin’ had been dedicated to the former singer in The Rascals earlier in the set.

Throughout the gig Turner referred to the venue by its former name, including telling the crowd at the top of the set: “Millennium Dome, we are the Arctic Monkeys from High Green. Are we gonna have some fun together tonight?”

The Sheffield band played a set spanning all four of their albums, kicking off with ‘Suck It And See’‘s lead single ‘Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair’.

Songs from their 2006 debut album ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ were also given an airing, including ‘The View From The Afternoon’ and their first Number One single ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor’.

After sparking a huge singalong during set-closer ‘When The Sun Goes Down’, the band returned for a three-song encore, kicking off with ‘Suck It And See”s title track before moving on to a stripped-down version of fan favourite ‘Mardy Bum’ and inviting Kane onstage for his customary turn during ‘505’
